Yeah, lots of shows in Europe are playback (Top of the Pops comes to mind). Muse were definitely protesting/taking the piss by them all switching band roles for it.

I can't imagine APC did a 5 song mini-concert that was all playback (they continued to play songs after the taping). That doesn't even seem plausible.

*edit, not to turn this into the Muse thread, but they always do outrageous things when forced to lip synch, or even when they were told not to swear (they didn't even have any songs with bad words at the time), Matt decided to change most words in the second verse to fuck. No wonder why some shows only allow playback heh.

Nothing beats Kurt Cobain going full Morrissey with "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Didn’t Queens of the Stone Age “play” laptops while performing 3 & 7s on some show?

Maynard’s vocals definitely sounded recorded to me. Even look at the very small handful of snippets during Kimmel where you can see his lips move. Something was “off” from him at least.

There are effects on his vocals. Possibly autotune but it sounds too chorus-y to be professional live autotune imo. Plus, remember, the video and audio are recorded, mixed, and combined later. As stated, it’s not live so the sound is often mixed again after the performance and before it airs.

Most live performances on talk shows and music shows have pre-recorded studio vocals and instrumentals.

That is most definitely not true.

I mean, go back to APC performing The Outsider on Leno. Maynard botched the “over this” scream.

I know across Europe is very common but in the US I don’t think that’s the case. But for sure it’ll work either way.

I'm currently on tour with a guy who was the house mixer for one of the main late shows for years. I'll pick his brain on that claim.

I can confirm that I've watched various shows from the 80's and 90's where it's obvious while 2000's and beyond depends on the locations. I know Top Of The Pops is 100% pre-recorded entirely.

Yes, a lot of Europe ones are. I don't think most US talk show performances are pre-recorded or have mostly pre-recorded elements. For one, if they did, they should theoretically sound a hell of a lot better than they usually do. We probably all remember Ashlee Simpson's lip synch snafu on SNL some years back but I really think that's the exception to the rule.

This isn't true at all. If you're talking about the occasional backing track, sure, but bands almost always perform legitimately on talk shows these days. Look at the Chili Peppers - when the NFL told them the instruments had to be pre-taped for the Super Bowl, they had a hard time agreeing to it as it was something they had never done before. That wouldn't be the case if it was something that happened all the time. Moreover, for how little the NFL cares about a genuine musical performance, even they let the vocals be live.

The guy thats sings is such a fukken toolburger!

Is anyone aware of lyrics officially posted anywhere?

I though Apple Music might have included them but I think they draw from Genius Lyrics which is crowdsourced. The lyrics for Feathers looks funky.

I believe that if the artist provides lyrics, they'll be correct/official, but if that's not the case (like this instance), then you're right about them being sourced from Genius. Although, they (Apple) supposedly hired a team of "lyrics curators" to work on that too. (Can you imagine if that was your job?)

And your quarterly bonus depended on whether you heard "tomato" or "tornado"

Make sure we’re differentiating between prerecorded as in recorded before the show aired or back tracks as in not played during the performance.

Almost all shows are prerecorded. Few of them in the us exclusively use backing tracks.

^^ Are we really still talking about that?

[Failure]

I am still taking my time to digest Eat The Elephant. So many people had quick/strong opinions, but it seems like a real grower of an album. Here are some thoughts:

-Loving the arrangements on By And Down The River and Feathers.
-Perplexed by the decision to lead off with the the self-titled track.
-The songs seem to get stronger and stronger as the record goes on. First couple of tunes are a bit of a mess (clunky, somewhat lacking direction/hooks, etc.).
-TalkTalk is fucking amazing. Literally a perfect song for APC in the year 2018. Totally knocked every facet of it out of the park. Should have been the first "single" for sure.
-MJK can still sing his ass off. Obviously he's not going to be screaming much now that he's a literal senior citizen, but his tone/pitch/register haven't lost a step.

Does anyone else get While I'm Still Here/Black Noise vibe from Get the Lead Out?

100%.....also agree this album is definitely a grower. yes, it doesnt have any of the real heavy/intense moments of past efforts but maynard sounds as good as ever, he really shines on this record. ive also seen the lyrics get bagged on pretty hard here, but i think (a few overly heavy handed moments aside) theres some really thought provoking/humorous content.

[theimage13]

Chiming back in (yes, we're still talking about it). Can confirm that the vast majority of late night performances in the US these days are LIVE. 100%, everyone is playing. In the rare instance that they're not, the tracks are usually still pre-recorded from a live session just prior to the show; not straight tracks taken from the album sessions.

Geez, and those are smaller arenas, too. Personally I don’t think they have the kind of show that lends itself to an arena setting, they’d be way better off booking theatres. Their material fits the intimacy of a smaller venue far better.

[Reznor2112]

Whyyyyy??? This seems a tad silly. If this was the farewell interview then maybe but still. $50?
